One
beach synonymous with Asia's first Club Mediterranee is Cherating. Located approximately
47km north of Kuantan, this world famous Club occupies only a small part of the
beach. A variety of accommodations are available in Cherating, including offordable
but comfortable rooms and chalets.
Foremost among Cherating's attractions is the rustic atmosphere and warm hospitality
of the village folk who usually play host to its visitors. To enjoy this friendly
environment, you can arrange to stay at an inexpensive village hut. Cherating
also offers the opportunity to shop for souvenirs, and to see how village maidens
nimbly weave pandanus leaves into mats, hats, bags and other handicrafts.
Close to Cherating, approximately 1 ½ km away, lies Chendor Beach. A favorite
sunbathing spot noted for its seclusion, it is also home to Green turtles and
the occasional Giant Leatherback turtle. To catch their annual migration, come
between early July and September, when they swim ashore nightly to nest and lay
their eggs. On the southeastern coast of Pahang, approximately 118km from
Kuantan, is Lanjut Beach
in Rompin. A golden stretch of sand, it has a host of recreational facilities,
including scuba diving and swimming. For the golfer, one of the best courses in
the state can be found nearby, at the Lanjut Golden Beach Golf Resort. Visitors
can also travel 65km from Lanjut and make a day trip to Endau-Rompin State Park.
One of the oldest rainforest jungles in the world, it provides an intriguing glimpse
of wildlife in their natural habitat.
How to get there
Visitors to Cherating should make prior arrangements with the hotels for pick-up
services at Kuantan town or from the airport. Traveling by taxi or self-drive
car are the most practical modes of transportation to reach Lanjut.
